My guess is that the main reason for the Wii is such a hit is that it appeals to a crowd that do not normally buy gaming consoles. So, in fact it is not kids that want the Wii but their parents. Kids wants what has the most power and games (including violent shooters) - something they don't get on the Wii.

The reason I think it has done so well is:
1.) Price
2.) Interactivity (get's you off the couch)
